Alarm and Trap Configuration Options

Table C-11. Alarm and Trap Configuration Options (1 of 2)

ASCII Alarm Messages: Disable

Disable Com Port

Controls the generation of alarm messages, which are routed to an ASCII terminal or printer attached to the communication port.

Disable – Prevents an alarm message for any alarm conditions.

Com Port – Enables alarm messages routed to the communication port.

NOTE: Alarm messages are only sent to the communication port if the Port Use configuration option is set to ASCII, otherwise the alarm messages are discarded.

Alarm & Trap Dial-Out: Disable

Enable Disable

Controls whether generated alarm or trap messages initiate a call if the external communication port device connection has not already been established. When enabled, a call is placed to the phone number contained in the alarm directory (directory A). If the call cannot be completed and the retry option is enabled, the alarm or trap message is held until the call is completed or the call has been retried. If more than one alarm message is received while waiting for a call retry, only the highest priority alarm message received is held; all previous messages are discarded.

Enable – Enables automatic call initiation (dial out) if an alarm or trap message needs to be sent.

Disable – Disables automatic call initiation. Trap messages sent to the external communication port device are queued (held) if an external communication port device connection has not been previously established. Alarm messages are not queued.

NOTE: This configuration option is only available if the External Device Commands option is enabled.

Trap Disconnect: Enable

Enable Disable

Specifies whether the external communication port device connection is disconnected after sending a trap message. This configuration option applies only to external communication port device connections initiated as a result of the trap message being sent.

Enable – Specifies that the external communication port device call is disconnected after a trap message is sent.

Disable – Specifies that the external communication port device call is not disconnected after a trap message is sent. The line is held until it is manually disconnected or disconnected by the device.

NOTE: This configuration option is only available if SNMP traps are enabled and the external communication port device is enabled and configured as an SNMP management link.
